With a victory against Carolina on Tuesday, the Kings would leapfrog both second-place Vegas and Pacific Division-leading Seattle, neither of whom play again until the regular-season schedule resum…
after stumbling out of the starting blocks in the second night of a back-to-back set on Saturday. Still, they’ve earned six of a possible 10 points thus far on a season-long road trip that will wrap up in Raleigh. In its second half alone, the journey pitted them against last year’s Presidents’ Trophy winner, the three-time defending Eastern Conference champions and, now, Carolina, which is on track to win its division for the third straight season.
Kopitar and his linemates have been simmering of late, with the captain producing 11 points in his last dozen games, Adrian Kempe pouring in nine points in as many matches and Quinton Byfield scoring five points in his past eight outings after notching just four in 15 previous appearances. To top it off, No. 1 defenseman Drew Doughty also has nine points in his nine most recent showings.
Getting the Kopitar-Kempe duo to click again has been a welcome development, especially as depth scoring has been tested mightily with the absences of Arthur Kaliyev, Trevor Moore and Gabe Vilardi. No firm timeline has been established for their respective returns. However, Kaliyev and Moore have made some progress, and both have been skating on their own since at least Sunday.
While Quick’s own numbers have been less than stellar – he’s had only one start with a save percentage above .880 since his last victory – the Kings have not supported him well either. Outside of, Quick’s teammates have scored a meager nine goals in six games in front of him after he led them onto the ice.
